Deep Dives: 10-Year Draft Retrospective Part Two--Wings

Nick brings Nathan Grubel back on the show for a 10-Year Draft Retrospective, covering the changes in how wings have fared in the NBA and how they have been evaluated from the 2016 NBA Draft class to this year's 2025 NBA Draft class. They break down changes in the last ten years and the last five years in terms of prospects and in terms of previous eras of the NBA, including breakdowns of the 3-and-D archetype, the prevalence of ball-handling/primary initiator wings, and the ways in which various wings have had to evolve their games to stick around in the NBA. Finally, they wrap up by discussing some of the wings in this year's draft class, including Liam McNeeley, Kon Knueppel, Hugo Gonzalez, and Nique Clifford.
